yellaheep Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 I can't figure out how this guy hasn't recieved a thorough razzing by the Pirate4x4 folks.......... This thing has got to be unusable and completely unsafe to drive much less build...... He shouldn't even give it to someone. http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/vehicles-trailers-sale/1450873-1987-jeep-comanche-4x4-1000-obo-se-mi.html '87 Comanche - $1,000 "The Comanche hasn't been on the road in about 10 years or so, but it has been started up and driven around the property regularly....... would make a great off road rig." Driven regularly???? I'd say the tire off the rim and sunk into the ground suggests otherwise, not to mention the spider webs spanning the driver's entry into the cab....... Off road rig???? That thing is going to split in half if it so much as flexes on a street curb...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GirsMJ86 Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 I hate to say it, but that is one MJ that needs to be put down. Right up there with that yellow and green abomination that has been floating around recently. I guess with the price set on this bucket, I'm not asking enough for mine set at the same price. Guess I should up it 5 fold. :banana: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnkyboy Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Might be a base for a wheeler but not for $1000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDirtyJeep401 Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 I bought mine for $1,000, and it only has a little rust on the bed. That is just sad, id be scared to get under it and look at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 is it me or is the drivers/rear rim not quite securely attached to the tire... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gogmorgo Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Because you don't want to see the terrible rust, or because you're worried it'll fold in half while you're underneath? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimoshel Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 I think I'll go get it. Park it right in the middle of the rest of my Comanches. Make them realize how lucky they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dasbulliwagen Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 I paid $250 for mine. Its rust free and I drove it home! I can't imagine $1000 for THAT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMCJeepMJ Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Just looking at the rig makes me want to go get a tetanus shot. However, on the bright side the rear slider appears intact as do various interior bits, so there's something in its favor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimoshel Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Looks like it might have the shift indicator that Babyblack86 is looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mvusse Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 If the body is in that bad of shape....I could imagine the frame....smh Being from Florida and Colorado (OP), you may have never seen road salt. My off road rig looks like that when it still had the bed on. Large rust holes above both wheels and in front of the driver side rear tire all the way to fuel door. Frame is still in good shape. Wildman used to drive an MJ where the fender flare was seemingly floating in mid air because there was no sheetmetal left around it on the outer bed side. Again, the frame was still good.

yellaheep Posted September 24, 2013 Author Share Posted September 24, 2013 The "frame" may have appeared ok, but I gotta wonder about the inside of the "frame" rails and the minute gaps between spot welded seams. Either way, there's a TON of MJ's on the market now WAY better than that POS for the same money. I haven't paid more than $1400 for any of my 4 MJ's and that was for the '91 Eliminator in my avatar pic. 2 '91's have ZERO rust, my DD '91 has minor floor board rust on the driver's side, and my '90 has a silver dollar sized spot on the bed side next to the fuel filler door.

jimoshel Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 After reading this half a dozen times I'm just wondering if perhaps the guy isn't having a little fun pulling our legs.

Comanche County Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 i think the wood in the bed is worth more than the truck If its hardwood, then its worth ~ $150 in the winter. Other than scrap value, a salvageable D44 would be a nice surprise if its under there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b.lee Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 I'm not ashamed, But I am famous! :laughin: For the record the price does have OBO next to it... And the last car I sold was priced at $7,000 obo... and I took $5,000 for it. If you thinking my asking price is high, your correct... Ask more, take less, buyer thinks their getting a deal.

Ahhh, see this guy understands The frame is rock solid, here's some pics I took yesterday for everyone's viewing pleasure. Never judge a book by it's cover yellaheep, 88whitemache & gogmorgo. (didn't your mama's tell you that?) Rockers and doors jams are still decent as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
